(Walt Whitman poem-connect Ag Calendar Photos)

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.R.1
Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.

A Farm Picture
by Walt Whitman
Through the ample open door of the peaceful country barn,
A sunlit pasture field with cattle and horses feeding,
And haze and vista, and the far horizon fading away.

The Farmer

1) Sun is coming up, Farmer's out the door,

2) He will go to milk the cows, And start his daily chores.

3) Sun is going down, Horse is in the stable,

4) All the fields are planted now, Supper's on the table.

Analyzing a Primary Source
Teddy Roosevelt

http://www.loc.gov/teachers/usingprimarysources/resources/Primary_Source_Analysis_Tool.pdf
(See Think Wonder)
What do you see?

• Share only what you can see (no interpretations)

What do you think?

• What do you think is going on in the image?
• What makes you say that?

What do you wonder?

• Based on what you see and what you've been thinking/talking about now- what are you wondering?

Share thinking throughout the process.
